Videos and thought the site was going to be a hit.

[01:30] He thought people would
want to see laser light shows from music festivals.

[01:48] He did keyword research
and found high volume keywords.

[01:58] Then he created content
by finding YouTube videos of light shows and writing about
them.

reaching out to similar sites and got a few
cross-links.

keyword “light shows”, but he found that he wasn’t making
money.

board, but he wasn’t getting any traffic.

works.
